Make an Impact with your Fundraising Campaign!
Here are a Few tips to make fundraising on Track Friday a Success!
Support a cause - Track Friday is about more than just getting outside and avoiding the stores. It's about changing our mindset about what's important on Thanksgiving weekend, and supporting charities with action.
We have set up a national event on Razoo.com. You can donate to any 501(c)(3) charity via our National Team Fundraising Page on Razoo. Participants can donate to a cause that's already posted, or can create their own team or fundraiser for a cause to add it to the board. The more people participate, the more charities benefit!

Congratulations on starting a Track Friday fundraiser! We know firsthand that fundraising can be intimidating (and, at times, is hard work), so we wanted to share a few tips that have helped some of your participants:
1. Get the most out of social media When sharing your fundraiser on social media, use a photo with your post, and share it during peak Facebook hours (generally between 7 and 9 PM). 2. Connect via email, too Consider sending personal emails to your most supportive family and friends with info about your fundraiser. An email is less fleeting, and you're more likely to reach someone when they have time to click and donate. It may also lead to donations from people who aren't on social media (or don't log on regularly). 3. Make it personal Donors sometimes care about as much about the person asking as they do about the cause. So add a personal touch to your appeal. Share what the cause means to you. Use humor, engage their hearts, or whatever feels natural and relevant to your charity. The more people are engaged in your message, the more likely they are to click. 4. Optimize your Razoo fundraising page We’ve assembled a tip sheet for building an engaging Razoo page that incorporates these considerations.
